UKCS previous offshore petroleum licencing rounds indicative areas

Areas that are planned to be on offer in offshore licensing rounds. This feature shows General Indicative Areas that are planned to be on offer in the 32nd Offshore Licensing Round. Final areas and specific selected blocks for 32nd Round have NOT been finalised, and are subject to change. Blocks within the indicative area may be added to the round if they have been relinquished prior to 90 days before the round closing, however note that some blocks within the Indicative Area may, for various reasons, be omitted from the actual round offer which will be publicised once the round has opened (planned launch in mid-2019). The areas shown are therefore for general information and indicative purposes only.
